3. Your Hardcore Political Or Religious Views

Whether or not you can reconcile your political views with hers will depend on how entrenched you guys are in opposing ideas and how open-minded the two of you can be. If you’re staunchly anti-abortion and she’s religiously pro-choice, you may get into some prickly conversations that leave you both feeling more riled up than romantic. If you’re an atheist and she’s a devout Christian, certain questions are going to come up at a certain point that are easily dismissed at the start of a relationship but can carry a lot of weight when things begin to get serious. What’s important is to identify any opposing beliefs early on so that you can decide if there’s a tenable future for the two of you as a couple.
